XR3H Counter Refrigerator Spec SheetProduct Description
The Foster XR3H is a three-door under-counter refrigerator from Foster's established XR range. It provides chilled storage at worktop height across three separately accessed compartments, giving kitchen teams direct reach to ingredients and prepped items without stepping away from the line. At 435 litres of usable capacity, it sits at a practical size for operations where refrigerated storage needs to be close to the point of use without dominating valuable floor space.
In a working kitchen, the XR3H holds up reliably through a standard service period. Fan-assisted cooling distributes temperature evenly across the cabinet, helping maintain consistent conditions even when doors are opened repeatedly during a busy shift. Auto defrost removes the need for manual intervention between services, keeping the unit running efficiently without adding to the team's workload.
From a day-to-day operational standpoint, the XR3H offers several practical advantages:
- Stainless steel construction withstands the knocks and cleaning regimes typical of a busy commercial kitchen
- Three separate door sections allow access to one area without exposing the full cabinet to warm air ingress
- Adjustable gastronorm-compatible shelving can be reconfigured as storage needs change
- Replaceable door gaskets simplify maintenance and help extend the working life of the unit
- Auto defrost reduces routine demands on kitchen staff during and between services
Installation is straightforward for a unit of this type. It requires a standard single-phase electrical supply and adequate clearance for ventilation. The unit is designed to sit flush within a counter run, so it is worth confirming your available run length and plinth height requirements before ordering. As with all refrigeration, avoid positioning the unit directly adjacent to high-heat appliances without appropriate thermal separation.
The XR3H is well suited to pub kitchens, café operations, smaller restaurant prep areas, and similar environments where reliable under-counter refrigeration is needed at a sensible scale. For higher-volume sites with more demanding throughput requirements, a larger-capacity or heavier-duty model within the Foster range may be worth considering.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit fits your kitchen layout or service pattern before going ahead, the team is happy to have that conversation.

XR3H Counter Refrigerator Spec SheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The XR3H is a solid choice for moderate-volume operations such as pub kitchens, cafés, and smaller à la carte restaurants. In higher-volume environments running extended or multiple services, it is worth considering whether 435 litres of capacity is sufficient for your daily ingredient and prep storage needs, or whether a larger-capacity unit would better suit the throughput demands.
- The unit requires a standard single-phase electrical connection and sufficient ventilation clearance — typically at the rear or top of the unit depending on configuration. It is designed to integrate flush within an existing counter run, so confirming your available run length and plinth height before ordering is advisable. Position away from high-heat appliances where possible to avoid placing additional demand on the refrigeration system.
- Having three separately accessed sections means staff can retrieve items from one compartment without opening the full cabinet to warm kitchen air. This helps the unit maintain stable internal temperatures more effectively during peak periods, reducing recovery time and keeping stored produce within safe temperature parameters throughout service.
